Identity Record Results Sources

The dawn of a new regulatory era (a.k.a. the introduction of the Fourth Money Laundering Directive and revisions to JMLSG Guidance) encourages companies to take a risk-based approach to customer due diligence. With that in mind, we set out to increase transparency, improve your compliance reporting capabilities, and give you complete confidence in the results returned. Onfido now displays the source of an applicant’s data – Credit Agencies, Telecom Database, Voting Register – all within your Identity Report.

Flags for Facial Check Spoofing Attempts

Have you ever wondered why a facial check was labelled Suspected? Our Facial Similarity Reports now flags instances of suspected spoofing – where users have submitted a photo of photo, a photo of a screen, or used a mask, etc. This means you can quickly identify people who are trying to the cheat the system, without causing any friction for legitimate users.

Live Glare Detection

Glare in an image can obstruct elements of users’ identity documents that we use for identity verification. That’s why we developed our glare detection technology – but feedback from our user testing workshops showed that people prefer to be warned of glare before snapping their Kodak moment. We know that the easier onboarding is for your users, the more they enjoy using your service, so we’ve given our mobile SDK an upgrade. Now, glare is detected in real-time, rather than after a photo is taken.

Support for Additional Identity Documents - US, EU & India

Driving licence expired? No passport? Don’t worry, you can still register that user! Our coverage has extended, and we now accept Residence Permit Cards for the US and most of Europe through our SDK. If you’re in the Indian market, we’ve just added an Aadhaar card capability through our API. Namaste! With this new feature, we can check your user’s name and DOB against their Aadhaar card number, and verify that the card number exists. With the added support for these identity documents, you can continue to scale your business globally.
